    Nothing but problems after the Android 11 update! Apps are broken unit will not stay connected to wi-fi. This device should work much better considering the price. NVidia did you not check this update before releasing it?. I wanted to love this device but I will return the unit and go back to APPLE TV.

    Complete and utter crap. I have had nothing but problems since purchasing it. It keeps buffering. Only the ethernet works. It doesn't detect the wifi even with it sitting next to the router. The remote works occasionally even after putting new batteries in. I will be looking on how I can return this piece of junk and get a replacement.

    Remote Issues

    The remote doesn't work properly and requires the batteries to be removed on a daily basis to start working again. I've contacted support and posted on the nvidia forums, but over a month later the issue still remains. Even if the issue is fixed today, it has taken way too long to fix, and issues affecting functionality this much should be a higher priority.

    I bought it to stream games natively from Steam, but they took away that feature. Everything else it does, I can do on my smart tv. Going to return as soon as I can.

    Super glitchy. Just get a chromecast 4K at 1/5 of the price, and save yourself alot of time. AI enhancement is just meh, and casting twice requires a Shield power off/on. If you are not interested in streaming games, don't waste your time or money.

    It started with advertisements being shoved in your face and taking up most of the screen. The AMC+ app crashed constantly. Then Google made it so you couldn't do in App purchases without paying them extra. Went back to my 4 year old Roku.

    Do Not Buy For The Plex Server

    We purchased this primarily to be a Plex server. It is awful. It won't stay online and it won't find new movies or TV shows that are copied to the hard drive. The whole point of this thing was to be able to watch our movie collection without having to get each disc out. Big fail.
